of the world; in which I deal also with Jainism. For the Festschrift (Commemoration Volume) to the 70th anniversary of Professor Schubring (Hamburg) I have contributed an article on the polimic of the Brahmans and Buddhists against Jainism (in german). You are right when you write that I have lost my whole library of 5000 volumes in Koenigsberg (it was buried through an aeroplane bomb). I have saved only one copy of the Upanishad and the Gita. Now I have again a small library, some books I bought myself, some others I got from friends. Many books I can lent from the library, but dictionaries one must have at home. Therefore I should be very thankful if you could ask a to send me a copy of the Ardha-Magadhi Dictionary published by the Sri S. S. Jain Conference 1938. I possessed the book but lost it and it is not in the library of my Seminar. I should like to have also H. R. Kapadia's 'History of the Canoical Literature' of the Jainas 1941 (to be had from Motilal Banarsi Das in Benaras). You would oblige me very much by making it possible that I get these books.
Professer Nobel, for whom you ask, is with Dr. Raghu Vira in Nagpur, Old Assembly Rest House. Unfortunately I could not see him during my short stay in India.
With kind regards, yours very sincerely, HELMUTH VON GLASENAPP
